If you think instead that HMG.3 development will keep the actual release method, you or Rathinagiri creating an exe from time to time, then there is no necessity to change name.
I think that HMG.3 should keep the same release method as it is now.

What do you think rathi?
Yes Roberto. We can keep the same release method.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.

Still porting my program from HMG3 to 4, main dialog is ready und everything is working.
The only problem was changing from BROWSE to VIRTUALGRID.
Now I have to port the routines in child windows.

Many, many thanks to share with us this great information!
For a lot of volunteers this image it's an important news.
I'm very happy and I hope all of HMGxxx users can be happy to see this evolution.

I had to change from VirtualGrid to GRID, because handling a dbf with a QT-Object is difficult and I had side-effects (record pointer). Now I copy the content of the small database into a GRID and everything is stable. It´s better to leave the database handling to Harbour and give the screen handling to QT.

I had similar problems and to avoid headaches I ended opening the DBF twice in 2 separate areas, one to the virtualgrid and another to handle application logic.

Yes, this is a possibility, but I don't like it... but you have to open it in shared mode...

I don't like this either, but was the way I found to avoid problems in a production environment. And I rarely open a database in exclusive mode.

Since we are at databases.... how do you handle DBFs that change in size ?

I explain: in this moment if you have a VGRID browsing a DBF, if someone changes the records contents, or adds/deletes a record, these changes may not be shown in the grid, until you do a :refresh()

Did you handle this case ? How ? I've some ideas but before writing code I'd like to do some more brain-storming

May be, we can use a timer to refresh the dbf by keeping a record of "last modified time" to check.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
